HILLSBORO, OR — Four adults were displaced following a residential fire in Hillsboro late Monday, according to Hillsboro Fire Department officials.

Firefighters were dispatched to the 6000-block of Southeast Ariel Street just after 9:30 p.m. Feb. 19. A woman who lives at the home reportedly called 911 after seeing smoke and evacuating the premises. Officials said she was the only person home at the time.
